Valorizing Agro-Industrial By-Products for Sustainable Cultivation of <i>Chlorella sorokiniana</i>: Enhancing Biomass, Lipid Accumulation, Metabolites, and Antimicrobial Potential.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Mixotrophic cultivation of microalgae using agro-industrial by-products as supplements offers a sustainable strategy to enhance biomass production and bioactive compound synthesis. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different agro-industrial by-products-orange peel extract, Cladophora glomerata macroalgal hydrolysate, and solid-state fungal fermentation hydrolysate-on the growth and bioactivity of Chlorella sorokiniana. Methods: Microalgae were cultivated under mixotrophic conditions with different agro-industrial by-products as organic carbon sources. Biomass accumulation was monitored through dry weight measurements. Lipid extraction was carried out using dimethyl carbonate. The antimicrobial activity of the extracted compounds
